Having been at the forefront of the appraisal and valuation of care and education businesses for the past 30 years, we have prepared in excess of 30,000 Pinder reports in respect of such establishments, affording us a detailed record from which to map the considerable change experienced by the sector over this period.

This long-standing and ongoing involvement in the care and education sector is used to the benefit of many lenders and operators, in both the private and charitable sectors, who recognise the value of our input when making strategic decisions affecting the future of their business. Our expertise has also been called upon by both central and local Government.

Our "White Coat" sector, incorporating the valuation of dental practices, pharmacies, veterinary practices and doctors' surgeries, continues to evolve and grow, with demand remaining strong for such businesses in the current climate, given the security of effectively Government backed income in most cases. This is a sector subject to increasing regulation and complexities, and an understanding of the influence of these matters on value is vital.
